Description:


Australia is a land of symbols. The Southern Cross.

The Sydney Opera House. The kangaroo. Vegemite.

But what do they actually mean? Where do they come from?

Why are some symbols so hotly contested?

Does Australia have more than its fair share?

Symbols of Australia offers illuminating and unexpected insights into the symbols that surround us: from Uluru to the Australian flag, the rainbow serpent to Holden cars, the democracy sausage to the Great Barrier Reef.

Entertaining, provocative, informative, and often surprising, Symbols of Australia reveals a great deal about the ways nations are imagined – and how they imagine themselves.

'Just when we most need it, a lively reassessment of the symbols that define us and their commercial and political exploitation. A mixture of scholarly ease and irreverent playfulness that also defines us.' — David Malouf, award-winning Australian writer

'If the nation is imagined, the business of creating its meaningful symbols gives us the very essence of its history. The star-studded cast of Symbols of Australia takes us on a fascinating tour among kangaroos and pavlovas, baggy green caps and rainbow serpents, Holden cars and vegemite jars — and much more besides. On this splendid journey across desert and beach, reef and harbour, city and bush, we see and hear the nation in its full dignity, diversity and dagginess.' — Frank Bongiorno, Professor of History, Australian National University

Color is off
Color: Bronze
I love the purse. The material is soft and the purse holds a lot. However the color wasn't close to what I ordered. Luckily I had a dress to match.

Cute and Comfy
Size: 8.5, Color: Brown
This shoe is cute. It is nice and comfy, but it is NOT brown. A caramel, maybe a tan, but NOT the color brown we see with the description. Not a chocolate brown as it appears or looks to be on the amazon post. It is NOT the deep description color that it shows to be. It is not. It is comfortable. It fors fit exact and it is still cute.
